~Tell me whyit’s your favorite

Show how it messes with your mind, your worldview, or just straight-up makes you feel alive....................

You can go nonfiction (essay-style), or get creative turn it into a short sci-fi tale inspired by the theory. Whatever your style, make it explode with personality and passion.

💥 Make me care about the theory that bent yourbrain. Bonus points for humor, bold analogies, and personal flair.

📏 Word Limit: 500🎯 Judging based on: Clarity, Creativity, Passion and brain-bending awesomeness.

🎁 Prize:The winner gets a 1-on-1 Question & Answer Session with me(the host), where we’ll geek out about your favorite theory.

I’ll ask cool, curious, mind-bending questions about your chosen theory and YOU get to teach me why it's amazing. We can do it right here on Penana (in messages or comments), or another way if preferred.

Think of it like a mini-interviewwhere you're the star. Because if your theory blew my mind, I want to learn more from you.

Winter is coming (in Australia at least) and things are starting to cool down!

I want you guys to create a cozy story that makes you feel warm in an otherwise cold setting!

Maybe it's a person visiting a cute little cafe for a hot drink and they come across unexpected love or friendship?

Perhaps someone has moved into an old house and gives it life again through warm soul food?

Or, it's a cold, snowy day and a poor animal needs to be nurtured back to health with love and a nice, warm bed.

The subject is up to you, as long as it is a warm setting in cold weather!

.....
